How he presents

Mark delivers fascinating presentations that energise and motivate his captivated audiences. He includes anecdotes about his experiences, the national anthem, the flag, culminating in his dream come true.

In Detail

Mark started rowing aged 14, having played county football, swum and tried various martial arts before deciding to direct all his time and effort into rowing. If life had taken a different turn, Mark Hunter would now be plying his trade on the River Thames as a licensed waterman and lighterman - an ancient profession to which he was apprenticed for six years before gaining the Freeman of the Thames qualification to skipper passenger and freight boats on London's waterway. During his year off after the 2008 Olympics, he was an Assistant Coach of UCLA Women's rowing program.

WHAT he OFFERS YOU

Mark brings with him a story of success but, more importantly, as a consummate professional, his presentations illustrate the devotion necessary to achieve the goal of Olympic Gold, which has proved to impress, inspire and motivate his wide-ranging audiences. Sacrifice, failure, hard work and determination all contribute Mark's remarkable story.
